I think we are getting somewhere here - to accommodate the mimetic
proclivities of the Australian Lyrebird, we merely have to turn the
couplet into a tetret that reads:

   Bird sings its own SPANISH name
   Bird sings its own ENGLISH name
   Bird sings some other bird's name
   Not as above


Or for the dichotomous purists:

   Bird sings its own SPANISH name
   Not as above

   Bird sings its own ENGLISH name
   Not as above

   Bird sings some other bird's name
   Not as above
